Whilst I think of it, what cooler are you thinking of using? The Arctic Cooling Freezers fit, but not the higher end models. I think you're limited to about 150mm tall comfortably, with 155mm at an absolute maximum. In fact...
That's with an AC7 Freezer Pro, which according to the AC site is 127mm high. So stick 30mm on that and you're on case side touching territory! In fact, a bit less than that as I've just noticed the heatpipes sticking out the top.
I've not ordered a HSF yet - was gonna just build the rig with the stock intel cooler and then measure the clearance to the side of the case. I was half planning on getting a thermalright true spirit 120 but that is 145mm high so might be touch and go!
Thanks for the tip though
